I know that in the 3 weeks that "Right Here Waiting" was #1, Shadoe never had a drumroll for the song. Were there any other songs that hit #1 that didn't have a drumroll played for it in their chart run? Thanks.

I know that in the early years of "AT40",you heard a jingle that said "Billboard's # 1" & then Casey would proceed to play that song.

In one week of American Top 20, Casey didn't have a drumroll and instead had silence following a tribute to the Virginia Tech victims before the #1.

Wasn't it also the same for American Top 10?
BTW how about when "Pick Up The Pieces" by the Average White Band hit #1? Casey played a drop-piece of "Amazing Grace" by The Pipes and Drums and the Military Band of the Royal Scot Dragoon Guards.

On July 13, 1985, when Duran Duran's recording of the title song from the James Bond film "A View to a Kill" hit #1, it was preceded instead by a guitar riff associated with Bond/spy films.

There was another show that was played in the last month or so where I noticed the drum roll wasn't played (other than "View To a Kill")...now if I can remember which one it was!

^ For some reason I'm thinking of 6/27/87 ("I Wanna Dance With Somebody (Who Loves Me)"), which incidentally also lacked a proper reading of the #1s on Billboard's other charts.

For most of the first half of 1977, there were hardly any # 1 songs that had a drumroll preceding it.

That's it--on the June 25, 1977 show, there was not a drumroll played for "Got To Give It Up", nor was one played on the May 7, 1977 show for "Hotel California". There was one played on the June 11, 1977 show for "I'm Your Boogie Man". There was also a drumroll played for Whitney's "I Wanna Dance With Somebody" on June 27, 1987.

I don't think Shadoe had a drum roll on the final week that "Another Day In Paradise" was at #1.

Early in 1976, there were shows without the #1 drumroll, including the intro C.W. McCall's "Convoy" on 1/10/76. I believe the same was true for the 1/24/76 and 2/21/76 shows. Maybe they were considering doing away with it, then decided it was better to have it?

The 2/22/75 show was also without the drumroll.

Actually for the 2/22/75 show, He introduced the #1 song with the beginning of Royal Scots Dragoon Guards Pipe & Drums rendition of "Amazing Grace." Casey did this because the group at #1 (The Average White Band) was from Scotland. I guess the AT40 staff thought it was appropriate, but it sound rather hokey to me since AWB was a funk rock band.

For most of the first half of 1977, there were hardly any # 1 songs that had a drumroll preceding it. And this weekend's Premiere presentation was a good example of that. At least there was a good segue, with Casey reading off the list of other #1's and finishing with the album "A Star is Born", while leading into the music for the #1 single "Evergreen" which of course came from it.
